Overview

  • Norris McClure’s two-run homer in the first inning and a five-run third provided UTSA with a lead Texas never recovered from.
  • The Roadrunners swept Texas three times this season, including back-to-back postseason wins that knocked the Longhorns into the loser's bracket.
  • UTSA improved to 47-13 after snapping a 0-6 record in prior NCAA Tournament appearances and securing its inaugural super regional berth.
  • Texas’s 44-14 campaign ended as its pitching staff, already depleted by season-long injuries, yielded six runs in 7⅓ innings from starter Ruger Riojas.
  • UTSA will travel to California for a best-of-three super regional showdown against either UCLA or UC Irvine beginning June 6.
